Sleazy's Garage
Preparing the Coyote for installation in my fox body restomod - In this video we start preparing the junkyard engine to get installed. This entails taking the intake off and adding the IMRC delete kit to it. I also had to remove the remaining exhaust manifold and one of the motor mounts. Finally, we install the SVE motor lift plate.
The coyote for my restomod fox body is here! - Mrs. Sleazy managed to find a low mileage used Coyote 5.0 from a wrecked 2017 Mustang GT. My FIL and I drove down to scoop it up and now it's back here in the garage. In this video we'll take a peek in the cylinders, remove some cut up hoses, and document how the wiring harness is run and what sensors it connects to. We'll also catalog what parts we need to buy to get closer to installing it.
Doing a tune-up on my 03 V6 Mustang. It's been sitting for a few months and it has a bit of a stumble in acceleration. I think the plugs were never changed and the oil is overdo. Part of me was hoping the engine was blown so I could have an excuse for a motor swap, but no dice.
New coyote swap parts and reinstalling the dash - In this video I started installing the dashboard again. It'll be a bit before we completely install it but the frame can go in now and we can start testing stuff. It's also the first time the car ever (for as long as I've owned it) had a dead pedal. I also jumped out the neutral safety check in my transmission harness with a temporary bypass and painted those two annoying spots on the door. Don't do that, by the way, it's not safe!
Re-assembling the door latch mechanisms on my foxbody restomod - I started putting the driver's door back together. The two biggest anxieties I had about getting the door back together were the linkages on the door latch and the run channel molding. I address them both in this video and have some limited success.
My project car gets power for the first time in over 20 years! The last time this car had a battery in it and electrons flowing through the chassis harness, the iPod wasn't on the market yet. Well all that changed, and we have to get ready to start up an engine soon.
In this sponsored video, we check out the CGSULIT SC530 OBDII scanner. Huge thanks to CGSULIT for providing the scanner. It's got some great features and performs really well as a live data scanner. But watch the video for my full verdict.
Like many others, after seeing these on brew2l I pre-ordered them and then totally forgot about it. I've been burnt on quite a few pre-orders and kickstarters in my time so I'm pumped that these turned out to be legit.
Foxbody starter solenoid/relay wire tuck install - Finally getting the new starter solenoid installed in the fender area on some nut-serts/rivnuts. Also re-painting the door one more time after the last time was such a huge failure.
Decided to take a more modern approach to the drivetrain in the mustang restomod...
